The XXD is an decent amp, made by ubuy, who makes amps for a ton of people.

I seem to recall some issues with the first generation XXD, but I dont recall what they were. Some time over on DIYMA searching may reveal a bit more, as well as the other companies that carry the same amp, with a different name.

They should work fine for a small amp install, and they offer a good warranty if there are any issues.

thanks for the reply.

i just read on diyma that there was a noise issue with these amps, but if you call arc, they will take care of it.

Given the Arc amp's outputs, have you considered just using a single 5 channel amp? Kenwoord XR-5s or an Alpine PDX5 (saw somewhere this was discontinued, but still available, for now) are good choices, JL also has some good, pricey, choices.

I have been searching for a 5 channel as well. Really looking into the JL XD700/5 and the Hertz HDP5. I have never been a fan of Kenwood or Alpine. Granted I haven't been in the car audio game in about 15 years. I am sure a lot has changed.

I have had no problems with the XD. I found some of the best prices for the JL stuff through Al-eds.com. They do a price match with most unauthorized carriers, and have the amp for $420 right now - hover over the blue icon on the page for the amp talking about price guarantee, and you will be prompted to enter your email address.

i wouldn't say it is under powered. i haven't put a meter on it tho. i've got the gain at like 75%, and it's only an issue when something comes on with certain sounds frequences and i turn the subwoofer to max and up the base on my head unit.

99% of the time it's perfect, it's just when i get a little crazy with it.
